Welcome to Seymour Alternative High School

Become a part of our learning community!

Mission: To produce wise citizens and good neighbors who think deeply and intelligently about issues of self and society, care for and respect others, take care of their family needs, and contribute to the welfare of others in a community.

Philosophy: Since the fall of 1989, the Seymour Community School District has provided an off-site alternative education program for 11-12 grade students who are unable to succeed in the traditional high school setting. Our goal is to help students better understand their lives and the world around them. In order to do so, students will need the knowledge and skills to make healthy decisions. Personalized instruction offered by the alternative program allows students unique opportunities to finish high school requirements in an atmosphere devoid of past defeats.

Program: Thestrength of the Alternative School rests in its flexibility to meet students' needs. A number of options are available for students: as a full time Alternative High School student who complete the necessary requirements of a Seymour Community High School diploma, as a shared student who completes credits at the traditional high school and the Alternative High School, and as a credit recovery student who attends Monday nights to make up credits. Students take an active role in directing the focus, format, and time learning occurs. Alternative School students learn that along with these choices comes the responsibility of doing the work it takes to learn.
